What's On My Blogroll? (Part 1)

If it weren't for the comic internet, specifically the vast blog community, I probably wouldn't be writing this blog at all. You guys are inspiring. I've got a long, long blogroll, and I'm making it a long-term project to say what it is that I like about what's on it. Because I love it when people talk about the blogs they like so I can find new things to read.

(Not all of these are strictly comic-related, but that's what I'm focusing on. Also, please ignore the non-standard alphabetization, it'll help me keep track of where I am.)

52 Pickup
A wonderfully detailed week-by-week discussion of DC's 52 series. Even though I've been reading 52 so far, this blog has been immensely helpful because, as only a recent DC reader, I just don't know a lot of the characters and history that you need to in order to read this series without confusion. Thanks to 52 Pickup I'm far less lost than I would be otherwise.

A Trout In The Milk
Consistently one of the most intelligent comic blogs out there, I come here whenever I need to stop feeling quite so smart. :) Always thought-provoking. Recent good stuff: Anxiety, The Secret Identity, And The Ten Basic Superhero Plots.

About Heroes
Good solid comic reviews, both complete and to the point. In addition to the blog itself, posts are organized by type and thus easy to find (see their rants section, for example).

Again With The Comics
Current comics, older comics, character pieces, good-humored and often damn funny. Recent good stuff: Character Obscura: Hellcat.

Arrogant Self-Reliance
Thoughtful and critical blog, its web address named for the always-delightful Etta Candy of Golden Age Wonder Woman fame. Recent good stuff: Just Not Feminist Enough: A Brief Review of Wonder Woman #3.

More to come...
